(This statement assumes that the same camshafts are used on both engines, I haven't checked.)
The same camshafts are not used on both engines:

2.0 litre KV6
Inlet LGC 107710 > LGC 000130SR
Exhaust LGC 107720

2.5 litre KV6 (177 & 160 Ps)
Inlet LGC 000140
Exhaust LGC 107740

The rear sprocket wheels have the same part number on both these engines.
